I was talking to a bloke in a tackle store the other day and he told me Penn are now made in China, as oppose to the US... just wondering how long ago the switch was made and whether i'll really notice the difference in quality of a US built Spinfisher as oppose to the Chinese made one.
Also.. Baitrunner vs Spinfisher... what's your preference ?
Thanks!
Looking for a rod to fish off a breakwall for big Jewies and enough to handle the shark bycatch... Budget.. $100-$250
Also what reel and line would you guys advise ?
Thanks in advance!
Headed out there today... picked up a Mojiko Tournament 1 piece, 6"9', 2-4kg rod, 4kg Black Magic Braid and 2 Packets of Berkley Soft Vibes... All up cost $58 !
If it wasnt on sale..wouldve cost me $160 !
Cant wait to test it all out !
Good to see you got some luck ^
I went out there today, caught zippppp ! Barely a nibble on my chicken breast or prawn baits. Didnt bother wasting the other baits..... The water was freezing and weather turned sour.. shame.
LOL... the other day, i was watching Master Chef with my sister and they had a 'name the fish' challenge. I was being all cocky and smashing all the fish names (they were all very easy), until fish 5.... my sister said "Salmon" and I said "Trout".... i looked like an idiot
My uncle spoke to a guy who was fishing for Bull Sharks near Roseville...... needless to say, he lost his voice trying to scream out to some old bloke taking his grandkids out for a mid afternoon dip !!
I'm hoping to head out to Berowra Waters this week... will be targeting Bream with chicken and mullet gut. Will be fishing the rocky shorelines and moored boats, as mentioned above. Will tell u how i go !
Did you end up fishing there this week ??
